Do everything else BUT boot into Vista/Windows 7. 2) From a command prompt window type XCOPY A:\*.* /E/H (usbdriveletter):\ to copy everything including hidden files and empty directories. Lastly you need to edit AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS and change references to drive A:\ to drive C:\ (Files may be hidden, so choose Show hidden files, folders, drives AND untick Hide protected operating system files in Folder Options > View) Done! Finally, it works. Thanx. OK forget the questions above I’ve FINALLY figured it out -
